Compost is a valuable part of many potting soils. Here we explain where you can best buy it and how you mix compost yourself. In addition to the well-known peat-containing potting soils, in the garden areas of hardware stores, garden centers, and nurseries, one sees more and more soils that consist to a large extent of compost.<\/p>\n
These composts – often in organic quality – declare war on the overexploitation of threatened peatlands. The production of potting soil could thus run again in a recycling economy. This article contains a definition and a differentiation from pure compost, a list of possible secondary components, and also a brief comparison with peat. Finally, you will find a compilation of various products as well as for instructions for mixing your own compost.<\/p>\n
